I haven't have any communication with him, and he haven't published any feeds. What status now? @maqifrnswa
i'm quite active ;-)
There is a slight conflict of interest with me publishing feeds. By measurement of trading fees paid, I'm the most active trader by far. Since I've been making trades based on forced settlement and feeds, it appears to be a conflict of interest setting the feeds that I directly profit from.
I really would prefer being a worker and maintaining linux distribution of bitshares (and raspberry pi nodes/wallets), but there doesn't seem to be an interest in funding that. So, for now, I've been justifying running
https://launchpad.net/~bitshares/+archive/ubuntu/bitshares (ppa:bitshares/bitshares) and the preliminary page at
http://162.243.185.205/ off of witness pay. I've also kept the market maker "maqifrnswa.bot" running with witness pay, which might also be something for a worker.
Since the start, I only want to be a witness for as long as I am useful. If I'm no longer useful without feeds, please cut me out
